I've taken a few photos around the house today before I get back to the projects I'm working on . . .

Shelves in our living room, chock full of botanicals in very old jars, my tray of nests (thank you Julie!) with a vintage mirror, tiny lamp, old spools of twine and a bunch more of my very old books I use for artwork. The lamp reflection is the lamp in the next photo!

The view looking out the window in our living room ~

I'm loving this new book I found ~ chock full of sewing projects for me to make and put in my Etsy! One thing I love is a pattern for eye shades to sleep in, you know the ones the movie stars would wear when they went to bed to help them sleep ~

Some goodies I brought home from my room at The Plum Tree to transform ~

I'm trying so hard to organize my papers for collage work. I thought these boxes with the snap corners would be great but yuck! They pop open all the time! I've already taken the tops off, stuck the boxes on this little rolling rack. I'll cut the tops up and use them in my artwork!

Projects I started last night:

Look Cindy, I'm starting your silver platter you ordered! Yaaaay!

One of the goodies going to Julie as a thank you for my nests, book, papers & garnet stones!

I'll soon have a new luggage pocket tray in my store too!!

A glimpse around the art room/studio:

Vintage lace ~ makes me smile just to look at it!

Over my sewing machine ~

On my work table, tons of things, heaped and piled, but I love it all ~

Oh you got the bookcase!! I love love love it!! I need to get one myself. Maybe I can talk Brent into building me one, my books on one of my shelves are going to have to be relocated due to water damage, yuck. We did a little rearranging in the house too, I'll post pictures for you.

I was actually not having a very good Monday. However, a trip through your studio and a peek at your wonderful projects and laces, etc. while listening to your blog's music has definitely calmed my spirit. Thank you!

**Shhhh!**You are invited to a SURPRISE BLOGGY BIRTHDAY PARTY for kari this Wednesday, Feb 20. She is turning 40!!!

I would love for you to stop by the party on Wednesday to surprise (hopefully!) the birthday girl, enjoy a bite of cake, sprinkle a little of your magic birthday dust, and check out the party favor giveaway!

What great ambiance... lovely filtered light and you are surrounded by beauty. I had trouble finding organizing tools too. I am currently trying boxes I got at Target...buy stock, I think I love them! Another look around your space and I am gone... fondly, Kim

Little ol' me

About Me

My name is Dawn Edmonson. I'm a wife for 37 years to the same wonderful man, mother to five great boys ranging in age from 35 to 20 years old and grandmother to two precious little girls and two sweet little boys. We have a Devon Rex cat and a crazy little Jack Russell/
Chihuahua mix puppy who will steal your heart.
I love to create one-of-a-kind artwork to sell in my Etsy shop. I enjoy keeping up with my blog and am amazed at the inspiration I get from others blogs and sweet comments that are left for me. I am drawn to all things old, with plenty of character and enjoy using small, antique trinkets in my artwork. Being able to create is truly my bliss.
